IPC: A61M25/01
Filed: 2009-06-16
Abstract: A cavity (3) such as the urethra of a patient is lined by providing a lining device that comprises an eversible cham-ber (12) and a liner (16) connected thereto. Fluid pressure is applied to the chamber (12) to cause the chamber (12) to evert and advance into the cavity (3) such that the chamber (12) carries the liner (16) into the cavity. A vacuum is then applied to the cham-ber (12) to cause it to deflate. A part, such as a catheter or cable, can then be inserted into the cavity through the liner (16). If the cavity is the urethra of a patient, the liner shields the catheter from the distal part (1) of the urethra which is colonised with bacte-ria, and therefore reduces the risk of a urinary tract infection.
Patent CA-2728070-A1 (CA)
Title: Golf ball with cover having varying hardness
Inventor: ICHIKAWA YASUSHI
IPC: A63B37/12
Filed: 2011-01-13
Abstract: Generally disclosed is a golf ball having a core and a cover layer. The cover layer includes areas that are hard corresponding to the dimples, and areas that are soft corresponding to the land between the dimples. The cover layer may be selectively treated, such as by heating, to achieve a difference in hardness using a single cover layer material. Alternatively, the cover layer may be selectively coated with a coating material having a different hardness. As a result of the arrangement of the hard dimples and the soft land, the golf ball achieves reduced spin, and greater distances, when struck with a larger force (such as during a dive) while also achieving increased spin, and better control, when struck with a smaller force (such as during a chip).

Title: A surgical orientation system and associated method
Inventor: LYE ROBERT
IPC: A61B17/58
Filed: 2009-09-15
Abstract: The surgical orientation system is used to assist a surgeon to orient a prosthetic component relative to a patient's anatomy during surgery. An embodiment is particularly suited for assisting surgeons to locate an acetabular cup into a reamed acetabulum.  The system includes: an implement (1) for releasable attachment of a prosthetic component; an electronic orientation monitor (2) attached to the implement (1); and a brace (3). The brace (3) is releasably attachable to the patient so as to define a reference point (4) relative to the patient's anatomy. This reference point (4) is external of the patient and includes at least one surface (5) defining a reference plane that is used to orient the monitor (2) into a reference orientation to calibrate the monitor (2).  The surgeon then manipulates the implement (1) so that the prosthetic component is in the desired position relative to the patient and the monitor (2) provides an indication to the surgeon when a subsequent orientation of the monitor (2) has a predefined relationship relative to the reference orientation; for example the predefined relationship may be parallel to within predefined tolerances. Upon receiving the indication the surgeon inserts the prosthetic component into the patient.
